Being a trustworthy advisor isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about how you build trust, navigate complexity, and influence others when the stakes are high.
The Trustworthy Advisor™ is a strengths-based leadership workshop designed for senior leaders and professionals who advise internally or externally and must influence without authority.
This program helps participants centre their strengths, build trust intentionally, and communicate in ways that reduce threat and increase impact.

Strengths, Trust and Influence for Senior Leaders and Advisors

The Trustworthy Advisor™ Workshop

The Trustworthy Advisor™ Workshop

The Trustworthy Advisor™ strengthens personal influence, trust and social intelligence, enabling senior leaders to advise effectively internally and externally, and work as one aligned team.

Senior leaders and advisors are trusted not because of what they know, but because of how they show up under pressure, how they build trust, and how effectively they influence across complexity.

This strengths-based team workshop is designed for professionals whose role is to advise, guide and influence others in high-stakes environments. It supports teams to move beyond siloed expertise and develop a shared, strategic approach to advisory work, where all contributions matter, and decisions are strengthened through trust and collaboration.

Key Outcomes

  • Strengthen personal influence in internal and external advisory roles.
  • Build trust using practical, evidence-based frameworks.
  • Increase social intelligence and awareness of common threat responses.
  • Communicate with greater clarity, confidence and psychological safety.

Grounded in positive psychology, social intelligence and trust research, this helps participants centre their strengths, recognise the shadow side of overused strengths, and communicate in ways that reduce threat and build confidence, credibility and influence.

Participants leave with practical tools they can apply immediately in advisory conversations, stakeholder relationships and leadership moments that matter.
